HAIR-00MB.

To all whomz't may concern.: j

" Be it known that I, 'JULIUS DUNNER, a

residing at Brooklyn, in the county o'f Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements, inHair-Comb's, of

l which the following is a specification.

This inventiongrelates ,to vnew anduseful improvements inhair-combs, and a principal object ofthe same i the provision of a sanitary hair-comb having parts -made and assembled in such'mannerthaty the teeth may 'beentirely removed for thorough cleaning,

andthat if any ofthe teeth `become damaged or broken, new teeth mayfbef `readily installed. f Y Another object ofthe invention is the pro-` vision of a comblo'f this character' embodying i features of adjustment, which permit the employment `of either relatively fine or coarse teeth, the same making provision also for securing the teeth in sposition with either relatively narrow or wide spaces intervening therebetween.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a construction involving features of the character specified, which may be employed in providing combs equipped with teeth pointed for use on both extremities, or at one extremity only.

With the foregoing objects in view and others, the invention resides in the details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter described, defined in the claim, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a material part ofthis specification; and it will be understood that changes and alterations in the precise details of construction as herein disclosed, may be made, to which changes and alterations the inventor is entitled, provided the saine are effected within the scope of what is claimed.

Patented Juiyaaiaia vApplication filedv September 111, 1918. Serial No; 253,618.

Fig. 121 isa cross sectional view, taken on the line`1`1-11 of Fig. 9.

\ With more particular reference to the accompanying drawings, the numerals -12 and 13 represent back or casing sections, made vfrom rubber, bone, aluminum or other suitable material from which-the backs of combs ,are usually made.

j These sections are made preferably rectangularin form, are of the same size and shape, but one of them, herein shown as 12, is formed along one end with a lateral flange 14.-, which projects for a distance approximately equal to the body width of the teeth to be employed.

At one end the section 13 is `removably securedflat upon the flange 14, by means of screwsfl or equivalent means; and at the oppositelend, it is similarly secured-together with an .interposed end tooth 16, upon the section 12.14 Tlie'body part of the end tooth 16 corresponds as to width, with the Harige .-14,1while the extremities'fof the'same extend beyond the opposite edges of the sections 12 and 13 and are shaped to provide the usual combing points 17.

To one of he sections, preferably section 12, as herein shown, there is riveted longitudinally and centrally thereof, a tooth retaining strip or rib 18, the thickness of which is preferably about one-half of the width of the flange 14C and incidentally of' the body portions of the teeth. Mounted upon this retaining strip 18 is an end retaining tooth 19, which corresponds with the opposite end retaining tooth 16, and also a series of teeth 20, 'the said end retaining tooth 19 as well as said teeth 20 be* ing all provided for the purpose midway their length with transverse notches or recesses as 2.1 so as to fit upon-the said rib. These teeth 20 are thus mounted upon the retaining strip between the end retaining teeth 16 and 19, so that when the section 13 is applied, the same will be held securely together with the tooth 19, for movement longitudinally thereof.

It is essential that the body portions of the teeth 20 be formed with flat sides or faces as 22 and with parallel edges as 23, so as to be arranged in series upon the strip 18, each tooth being maintained flat against its neighbor, or held spaced therefrom by means of a spacer as 24C, which is also suitably notched or recessed midway its length to slidably fit upon the retaining strip. The length of the spacers 2'1 preferably equals that of the body portions of the teeth in order to properly 'brace the teeth with respect to each other. The outer portions of the teeth 20 beyond the opposite edges of the sections are beveled or curved in any suitable manner to provide the necessary service or combing points 25. The teeth 20A may be either relatively thick or thin having either relatively coarse or fine combing ends as desired; and likewise the spacers 24; may be relatively thick or thin to hold the teeth spaced from each other as desired. By varying the size of theV teeth and of the spacers therefor, the comb may be made either coarse or vfine, or even one portion thereof may be made coarse while the other portion is made fine.

Threaded through the flange 14 are the set screws 26 arranged preferably one on each side of the location of the retaining strip 1S. By turning theseset screws, the teeth may be either locked upon the retaining strip or released for removal.

In Figs. 9, l0 and l1, I illustrate another form, the construction and assembly whereof are precisely the same as above described,

vexcepting that the sections' 27 and 28 are preferably made of less width than the sections 12 and 13, and that the end retaining Gopies of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing' the teeth 29 and 30, as Well as the intermediary teeth 3l, have combing points on only one side of the sections, the opposite extremities of the same terminating flush with the edges of the sections.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim s:-

In a comb of the class described, a pair of rectangular backing sections, connections 'between the opposite ends of the Ysections for holding them in confronting spaced relation, one connection consisting' of an end ange formed integral with a section and the other of a iXed end tooth, a strip carried by one of the sections between said end flange and said end tooth, a series ofteeth notched between their ends to slidably ft on said retaining strip and projecting beyond the sections, one of said teeth representing an end tooth which Comes adjacent to said end iange, and means associated with said end flange and adapted to act on the last-mentioned end tooth for clamping the series of teeth rigidly between the lastmentioned end tooth and said xed tooth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
